File & Folder variables

By Thomas Underwood 🕢 Updated on July 9, 2024 at 7:30 am

When a Task contains more than one Action, it is possible to pass the data returned by an Action to some subsequent Action. Instead of using fixed values, use Variable Wizard for filling in particular Action parameter field automatically.

Automation Workshop and Variable Wizard provide a wide range of tools to work with files & folders—from local files, and files on local network, to remote files & directories on a remote FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and DigitalOcean Spaces servers.
